Edinburgh-based brand Islander has launched a special Harris Tweed collection at the FIFA World Cup in Miami. The collection includes handcrafted bags and shoes made using a new tweed design called Spirit of Brazil.
The tweed celebrates the connection between Scotland and Brazil through football.
It was inspired by Charles Miller, the Scottish man who is recognised for bringing football to Brazil. Even better, the design came from a competition where schoolchildren from Largs shared their ideas, making the project even more special.
The collection is on display at the Coral Gables Museum in Miami, alongside what is believed to be the world's oldest football. It's a great way to showcase Scottish craftsmanship to visitors from all over the world.
For Islander, this is about more than fashion. It's about telling a story through traditional Scottish materials and showing that Harris Tweed still has an important place in modern design.
Harris Tweed has been made by hand in the Outer Hebrides for generations, and projects like this help introduce it to new people while celebrating its history.
This World Cup collection proves that tradition and modern style can work together, and it's another proud moment for Scottish design on the world stage.
